Religious institutions across Lucknow, Kanpur, Ayodhya, Barabanki, and Sitapur pay UPPCL tariffs of Rs 7-9 per unit to run fans, lighting, PA systems, and kitchen equipment, with monthly bills ranging from Rs 8,000 to Rs 60,000. A correctly sized rooftop solar system can cut these costs by 60 to 90 percent, reduce generator dependency, and pay back in four to six years - with CSR funding and net metering making the case even stronger for larger institutions in 2026.
